The bagels are delicious, the staff is kind. But you can always feel this intense negative energy. Im not sure who the owner is but I can tell the owner is always around, of course that could be a good thing but it can also be a bad thing and in this case its a bad thing. Although a mistake is never made, the food is good, and the staff works hard, something feels off. Besides that intense energy and seeing the owner always looking over everyones shoulders, the bagels are delicious.

I love bagels is superb. They are always so friendly here and the tuna sandwiches are out of this world. They give you a locks of tuna or Turkey and they may come exactly the way that you order them. I come here all the time and have always been happy with the food and the friendly staff

The ordering was quick and efficient, they have a great variety of bagels and cream cheese selections to choose from. It was busy, the wait to receive my order was still minimal. Their prices were comparable to other bagel establishments.

Definitely following Covid-19 restrictions. Clean and allowing for social distancing. Friendly and efficient. Great selection. Its hit or miss on their busier times, but I definitely will be back for my morning bagel.

We love the food unfortunately the last time we were there we had ordered a jalapeño bagel and they gave us a plain bagel. We spent almost $50 on the whole order and we tried to ask for a side of jalapeños since we didnt get any on the plain bagel and the employees wouldnt give us any. They wanted to charge us extra for the jalapeños. We couldnt believe that just for a small charge for jalapeños they were willing to lose customers. I was really disappointed on the customer service.

Very impressed with the bagels and the service. Was especially impressed with the baker, even though most bagels were running low (it was a Saturday morning) the baker was regularly turning out new bagels. Will definitely return

Excellent!!! This place had a (socially distanced) line out the door by Sun at 10 am but still had plenty of fresh bagels! Was afraid we had arrived too late and might have to settle for day-old bagels but nope! They must make them all morning. Friendly staff and the line goes fast. The only thing I didnt appreciate was that the line of people pretty much surrounded the patrons who were eating on the outside patio, and you cant eat with a mask on so...I wouldnt eat here during COVID. But the bagels (especially the cheesy jalapeño!) were awesome.

Moved to Oceanside from New Jersey and its nice to have a place that knows how to make great bagels. Awesome they have Taylor pork roll and Tastykakes!

The food from here is excellent. I was helped by a very nice cashier, John, and his customer service was excellent. After being to many horrible bagel places, this shop far outdoes any of them. I strongly recommend this place.

Amazing bagels. Family owned, operated, and pride taken in their food and dining experience. If you are in the area and a bagel might hit the spot, go here and you will leave content, sated, and dare I say happy. Some of the best begals I have had, from proprietors who have been doing this for decades and take pride in their craft.

About 9:30 a.m. my wife and I stopped by. It was quite busy about 12 customers seated and eight customers waiting in line but there was plenty of staff.We ordered the cream cheese and lox open-faced sandwich with sliced onions and tomatoes and capers to eat in and toasted.When the nice girl brought us our order it did not seem toasted at all and was in fact cold, so I gently asked her and she assured me that it had indeed been toasted.I know theyre busy, but if the girl had taken my question as a cue, and offered to toast it again or warm it up or something, I would have given 5 stars because it was still delicious.

1rst time there. Staff was friendly and we got our bagels quickly. I order the ham breakfast bagel on an everything bagel. It was good, I would probably try a different one next time. Others looked really good also.

Review №48

The bagels are terrific but the owner is disconnected from people Ive been in there numerous times over given period And each time he looked at me like he never saw me. I gave him an idea about packaging up toasted everything seeds and selling them now when I go in and ask for extra seeds on my bagel with so many packages on the counter that they want to charge me for extra seeds. Theyre good at making Bagels but I wouldnt say much about the owner and the staff.

If you like Bagels like I love Bagels. You will love I love Bagels. This is an awesome place to have some great Bagel related meals. I personally recommend the egg bagel sandwiches. Please dont forget to tell them to add tomatoes. I would also personally recommend that you get your eggs scrambled. Its $0.50 more but makes a $3 difference. Not that they charge you $3 more in case you were wondering.. Enjoy

Always great fresh bagels and smear. Pretty quickly made too. Simple menu but everything is amazing. My favorite is the veggie cream cheese spread. It actually has real fresh veggies in it. No chain bagel spot could pull that off.

If you are looking for East Coast style sandwiches that taste and look authentic this is the place to be. I recommend the bacon egg and cheese bagel with extra egg and extra cheese on an everything bagel. They also carry wise chips which are typically found on the East Coast.

I was offered an interview here. I came in dressed up, blue dress pants, pink shirt matching suspenders and a blue bow tie. The owner looked me up and down, said she could not do the interview and I havent heard back from her since. (I called to try to reschedule the interview.)

Where can I begin to review this Bagel Shop. First of all, the service here is great. The staff is friendly and since I go there every Saturday they know me. The Bagels are the best bagels Ive had!! If you are an out of towner. I def recommend this place!

Review №64

I ordered opened face lox and bagels. The capers were all in the center and the onions were very thick and also in the center. It would have been more enjoyable to have had them evenly distributed from the onset rather than me happening to get a knife and redistribute everything and rebuild the sandwich correctly.

Family businesses always make me a happy customer. Everytime I go there the owner drops off my order with a smile and the rest of the staff are courteous too. Oh yeah, the bagels are on point and they have an awesome selection.

I was raised in Chicago and believe me it is hard to find a real bagel in Southern California where I have now lived for almost 40 years. I LOVE BAGELS handles this for me and I cant wait to get a dozen more! They freeze beautifully and are wonderful toasted with butter orcream cheese.

The food is usually pretty good. if you get the onion Bagel dont have it toasted it tastes burnt after they do and cuts the top of your mouth. every single time I have gone in with a smila and staff has been unkind or unfriendly its too bad I really want to want to go there I just cant justify being treated poorly.

Review №84

A bagel/deli place with average stuff. I came around noon on a saturday, so not many bagels were in the case, but it looked like they were making random bagels still. Most seemed to look on the darker side.I decided on the pizza bagel...comes with sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. It was made alright, but the bagel wasnt completely heated when it was made...but thats not a major issue. I think this is a good choice to mask the flavor of the bagel, because I mostly tasted the sauce. I tried to taste the toppings on the everything bagel, but they were mostly burnt.Overall, its just an okay place, not great, not bad.

I wanted a box of bagels and asked, politely, if they would toast 2 of them for me to eat there and then. Surely not an unreasonable nor an uncommon request?!But the response I received: No, thats not going to work. RUDE A.F.

Review №91

The worst experience. Leaving hungry. About 8 minutes into my tuna melt order I asked if I could get it to stay instead of to go. They said what order number? Oh im making it now and we will bring it to. I said thank you. 7 mins later I check on order and the response is that we dont have a ticket. They offered no solution and gladly gave me my money back. I will gladly go elsewhere. Is a shame as I have been a customer for as long as I can remember.

Keep readjusting their hours, closing earlier and earlier. Also, the two locations have different hours. Getting too hard to ever know if its worth driving over to make a purchase. Will be going to other places to eat from now on. 😕

Best early-bird gem: Breakfast Hoagie. For reals. Yeah, bagels and spreads are amazing, especially the jalapeño. But. The. Hoagies. Theres always a wait, and rightly so. Even the bacon is cooked to perfection. Plenty of seating, indoor and out. And tons of parking.
